A weekend curfew was imposed in the capital to check the spread of Covid, with all non-essential activities suspended for the next 55 hours from Friday night.
The Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) has imposed a weekend curfew from 10pm Friday to 5am Monday by order on January 1.
Metro train services will continue to be regulated over the weekend (January 15-16) to comply with DDMA guidelines published last week, an official Delhi Metro spokesman said.
During the curfew, subway services and public transport buses will be full, but standing commutes will not be allowed.
The spokesman said the frequency of trains on the “Yellow Line” (HUDA City Centre to Samaypur Badli) and “Blue Line” (i.e. Dwarka Sec-21 to NOIDA Electronic City/Vaishali) is 15 minutes.
On all other lines, trains will run every 20 minutes during the weekend curfew. The e-pass for essential services, issued last week, will be valid during the curfew.
Markets will be closed during the weekend curfew, except for those dealing in essential goods and services such as groceries, vegetables and fruit, medicines, milk and more.
